    Antoine Careme worked for George iv (Victoria's uncle) and definitely used piping bags for pastry and such. So I doubt that the potatoes were just clumsily pushed in with fingers.

    I've just discovered this and binging it. Rosemary and Tim have such a chemistry! Even if they're apart into two different worlds of the Victorian era, they're pretty much wrorking in complete synergy. Not to mention their excellent, tasteful and very english humor. Not to mention, the chef is amazing.
    I absolutely love it!

      We have had a monarch for over 1000 years in this country; making it a huge part of our history and heritage, therefore it really does make sense that people would be interested in it. Celebrity on the other hand is a very modern concept by comparison, although even back in the 18th century there were so called “celebrities” in England, such as the fashion icon ‘Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire’ - who was constantly admired/ ridiculed in major publications at the time for her love life, extravagance, gambling addiction etc.

    I’m not quite sure why people think the food is gross. It would be like having pan fried chicken breast with potatoes and carrots. I don’t particularly like chestnuts but cooking them in broth would certainly help
    They used salt and pepper and butter. It would be plain by current standards but certainly edible and that would have only been one part of a much larger meal so it seems fine to me.

      People often actually cleaned. Especially in the Victorian time period. They were obsessed with cleanliness. Sure, they didn’t have a bath every day, but they washed their faces and necks, changed out their underclothes almost daily. After all, no one likes to be around someone who smells. Even two hundred years ago.

      @@rosaliehawthorn yes! Thank you! The Victorians were obsessed with cleanliness. I mean, some of the stuff they used was toxic. But the fear of germs was very real. The lack of proper disposal of sewage, and then it getting mixed with the drinking water ,was more prevalent in the spread of cholera. Thats why they drank beer and wine over water. But the poop water was still being cooked with and used for bathing.

      I'd love to visit a place like this but there literally arent any manors like this to visit where i live, or even within 100 miles. There are modern mansions buy they're either occupied and not open to the public or they've been converted into hotels and dont really look like the original mansion anymore. My area had a few major construction booms so there are very few buildings from before WW2 much less the Victorian era, and most of the surviving pre-WW2 buildings have been heavily remodeled to look newer. Shows like this are great for us to vicariously tour.

    Seems a shame to interrupt the ads with the show...

    How much did British cuisine and the style of presentation change in the course of the 19th century, I wonder. For example, would that potato / veg / pheasant dish have appeared on an upper class dining table in the 1880s as well as the 1830s, complete with tower of pureed chestnut in the centre? I'm going to dig around online for (preferably illustrated) recipes / recipe books for that time, but pointers to good sources would be welcome.

    Those potatoes were piped into that mold. Piping ha been around fabric and paper and probably before that with animal tissue.

    How can you make a dish with chestnuts when all the chestnut trees died in the chestnut blight?
